Oops, my bad. It's PostgreSQL 7.4 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8, compiled by

I've attached the schema dump, and the corresponding psql output when
run by the superuser as "psql -f schema_dump db_name >& psql_output".
If you don't have time to go through that, here's a brief summary:
The first group of errors I get when trying to create a new db (as
superuser) from the schema dump are failures to create indices on
certain tables (I can't see any difference between the tables on which
it succeeds and those on which it fails). The errors are of the type:
"ERROR: must be owner of relation cookie_log". The relevant lines in
the schema dump are:
--
-- TOC entry 302 (OID 16552096)
-- Name: cl_ip_idx; Type: INDEX; Schema: public; Owner: nishad
--
CREATE INDEX cl_ip_idx ON cookie_log USING hash (ip);
[The definition of the cookie_log table is:
--
-- TOC entry 102 (OID 16169191)
-- Name: cookie_log; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: nishad
--
CREATE TABLE cookie_log (
ltime timestamp with time zone NOT NULL,
id integer NOT NULL,
ip inet NOT NULL,
"action" text NOT NULL,
cookie text NOT NULL
);
]
Other index re-creation errors follow the same pattern. This is
followed by errors recreating indices upon definitions of primary keys,
and errors recreating both foreign keys constraints and their associated
triggers. All errors are either "must be owner of relation..." or
"permission denied for relation." You can find examples of all these in
the attached files by grepping for "ERROR" and looking up the
corresponding line # in the schema dump. I hope this is helpful; if
not, please let me know how I can present this in a more intelligible
way.
Cheers,
